The Day They Let You Out Is The Day They Might Not Let You Come Back

Grapefruit proudly welcomes the first new album in 25 years from legendary New Zealand singer-songwriter Peter Jefferies. A key figure in the New Zealand underground since the early 1980s, Jefferies is known for the vital post-punk groups Nocturnal Projections and This Kind of Punishment, alongside a remarkable solo run.

Records like The Last Great Challenge in a Dull World, Electricity, Elevator Madness, and Closed Circuit helped define his singular voice. Now, The Day They Let You Out Is The Day They Might Not Let You Come Back finds him returning with the same clarity, depth, and purpose.

After a quarter-century away from songwriting, Peter Jefferies sounds completely present. If anything, the world has given him even more to wrestle with, and his voice remains as urgent and necessary as ever.
